The legendary Goodwood Festival of Speed begins tomorrow. Can’t make it? Bummer. Event organizers expect to draw 130,000 viewers to this year’s hill climb. They’ll see hundreds of classic, modern, and concept vehicles — including the Infiniti Essence concept and a bright yellow/green, performance-minded Jaguar XKR — many of which will attack the 1.16 mi. track. We did it last year with a Dodge Challenger SRT-8.

Audi, as this year’s featured marque, will offer the largest piece of art: a 115-ft-tall monument celebrating the company’s 100th anniversary. Designed by Gerry Judah, the ampersand-looking display shows the 1937 Auto Union streamliner and the R8 5.2 FSI, both heading towards the sky.

Though one year shy of its centennial, Alfa Romeo will be in full festivity mode. To commemorate its 99th birthday, the company will send a number of cars up the hill, including a new 8C Spider. Alongside will be the World Championship-winning 1924 P2 Gran Premio, Sir Henry Birkin’s 8C 2300 tipo Le Mans, the 6C 3000 CM driven to second place by Juan Manuel Fangio in the 1953 Mille Miglia, and the 33 TT 12 that brought the 1975 World Manufacturer’s title to the company.

Also with some world championships under its belt, Prodrive will observe its 25th anniversary with a slew of its most famous motorsports cars. The Rothmans Porsche 911 SCRS, the first car the company ever built, will take the hill, as will the company’s latest: the Aston Martin LMP1. Prodrive will also run a Colin McRae Impreza and a Richard Burns Impreza WRC, the Ferrari 550 GTS Maranello that competed in the 2004 Le Mans, and a Gulf Oil DBR9. Static show cars include by Jimmy McRae’s MG 6R4, a BMW M3 rally car championed in the late 1980s, Ari Vatanen’s Subaru Legacy, and Alain Menu’s 2000 BTCC-winning Ford Mondeo.
